Heads in the clouds
In fact it’s so “high level” it’s virtually stratospheric. A political wish list that is probably the absolute minimum that could have been expected from nearly two weeks of intensive negotiations. As you would expect, the Sydney Morning Herald is reporting this like it’s some kind of triumph:
Leaders and ministers from about 30 countries hammered out an outline climate accord early on Friday morning, hours before some 130 world leaders were to gather in a summit.
The three-hour session ended at about 2.30am, leaving top advisers to work out the final language of the draft agreement on how to tame global warming and help poor countries cope with its impacts.
Advisers resumed work almost immediately to craft a document that could be presented to heads of state and government at 8am.
“We tried to find an umbrella political accord, if you like,” said Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, who also holds the rotating presidency of the European Union.
As Andrew Bolt puts it:
Hot air, no fixed targets, promises of a vast transfer of wealth from the West and everyone flies back home thinking they’ve been warriors for mankind.
If the report is true, it’s almost as much as a sceptic could hope for. (source)
